git clone https://github.com/pcaversaccio/swissdlt-production.git
cd swissdlt-production
geth --datadir node-prod/ account new
Send the address that is created to BCTS (toni.caradonna@bcts.ch)
geth --datadir node-prod/ init swissdlt.json
chmod +x start-node.sh
start up a node that runs with a RPC on http://localhost:8550
./start-node.sh
Like above but after creating the address:
send the address that is created to BCTS
send the enode-info that is created to BCTC eg using geth attach node-prod/geth.ipc and then >admin.nodeInfo and send the output to BCTS
BCTS will send out a request to all node validators to add you and add your node-info to node-prod/static-node.json if you do not have a static IP please use ngrok or similar to get a static IP and let us know
wait for confirmation until all validators have added you
add the adress to the start-validating-node.sh script
use the password that you created correctly with unlocking either via geth --unlock <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS> --password <YOUR_PASSWORD> or, and this is NOT RECOMMENDED
screen -S node-prod geth --datadir node-prod/ --syncmode 'full' --gcmode=archive --port 30312 --rpc --rpcaddr 'localhost' --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcport 8550 --rpcapi 'personal,eth,net,web3,txpool,miner' --networkid 999 --gasprice '1' -unlock 'ACCOUNTADDRESSwithoutTHE_0x' --password node-prod/passwort.txt --mine --allow-insecure-unlock
you could put this screen command in a startup script eg. ./start-node_validating.sh
cd ~/swissdlt; chmod +x health-check.sh
make sure health-check.sh is in crontab:
crontab -e
add these two lines and save
@reboot ~/swissdlt/health-check.sh
*/1 * * * * ~/swissdlt/health-check.sh
geth attach node-prod/geth.ipc
for a full list of commands check https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/rpc/server
please backup up your pwd for your wallet, also backup the file: ~/swissdlt/node-prod/keystore/UTC-.........json you will need that to restore access to the validator, also think about intercompany access policy.
